COMBINATION [HAIR roiiivr'ann TIE;

To a? Z 1071 0m it may concern)" Be it known'that we, Bonner SCHEANBLUM and Gnacn SCHEANBLUM, citizens of the United States, residingv atDanbury, in the county otFairfieldand State of Connecticut, have-invented a certain new and useful Combination Hair Fornrand Tie, ot which. the following: 18 a specification.

This invention is a combination'hair for-1n and'tie intendedfor use inthe arranging of ladies hair in an attractive and pleasing manner and 1'9121'665'11101'6 especially to a de vice for facilitating the making of psyjclies,

swirls, rolls, puffs and similar conforma-' tions. 7 7

Ha r supports and foundations to facilitute the fixingof hair H1 desired conformations have been heretofore employed, and the ob ect of the present invention isto sun plify theconstruction of such devices econ omize in their manufacture, facilitate their applicationand enable the hair tobemore readily and easily manipulated and dressed.

In its preferred practical form, the invention embodies an open base loopadapted to seat uponth head and with which is associated means for 'detachab'ly maintaining the loop in closed position, in combination with a plurality of distending wires, which extend diametrically across the loop in angular relation to one another and which are:

longitudinally arched to form a foundation or -frame through which the hair may be} passed and on which it may be built up or for-med into the desired? conformations. In practice, the attaching'meansof the loop; may bedisengaged to permit of the opening of the loop so thatthedevicemay be passed about the hair without requlring the threading of thehair through the loop,

although the construction is such that the hair may be. divided into a plurality of strands, some of which may be. threaded,

through the loop andone of which may be passed into the loop without -requiring the threading operation. 'VVhen the loop is closed with the hair extending therethrough, a convenientandlight foundation is formed which greatly facilitatesthe production of the hair conformations desired.

Features of the invention, other than those adverted to, will be apparent from the hereinafter detailed description and claims, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Application filed February 17,1921. Serial'No;'445,809;

The accompany Tingle. drawings illustrate diii'erentpractical embodiments of the ins vention, but the construct-ions herein shown spring wire, whi'ch, in practice, is; preferably covered with cotton,-s ilk, hair'orany other-desired materiahso as to encl se and conceal the wire; In manufacturing the construction, one end of-the wire isf first formed into a hookl and a portion-of'the" length of thewire' is" then bent to form a loop 2. I The wire changes direction at 3,

archedg condition, audits freev end is coiled about the 1010p Q-at 4; This diametrically extending-wire is designated by the reference numeral5'.-

One end of a seoond wire 6 is next coiled about the loop.2,-as at 7 is arched-longitudi nally' and coiled at its centerfat 8' about the; wire 5' and from-'thence'extends to the oppo site side of the loop-2 where it is secured to v the loop by a coil 9-1as shown. p

base 1 loop 2. and diametricallyextending, arched: 'distending wires 5 and' 6, which divide the frame into four sectionsgor openings, In dressing thehair',the frarne may be; employed in different ,ways. For exam-- ple, if so desired,the hook l may-gbe operated to open the'base loop 2, whereupon it will take I the position" shown in dotted lines V in" Figure 2, thereby. opening: one fourthof I the loop. The frame may--thenbe passedjlOQ overa strand of hair-without necessitating thQ tilI'GttdlHgEQf thehair through theloop, whereupon' the 'hook 1' ishooked over the wire 5, a's shown in full lines in Figure 2 to enclose the strandof hair. As the hair will not be clamped within the loop by the fastening of the hook, th device may now be properly and comfortably adjusted on the head and the hair thereafter curled or worked about the device, so as, to build up the conformation desired and completely cover the frame being finally secured in position by hair pins in the usual manner.

Another manner of employing the frame is to divide the hair into a plurality of strands and thread the strands through different sections of the frame or to thread the strands through certain sections of the frame after one strand has been encompassed by the frame while the hook is detached. The man ner of manipulating the frame is, however, optional with the hair dresser and the two examples given are merely illustrative. In any event, there is no clamping of the hair in position and the device may be at all times properly adjusted without injury to the hair so as to partake of the most comfortable and aesthetic position.

In Figure 3 of the drawings, a modified form of invention is illustrated and in con-' structing this form, the base loop 10 is made closed by coiling one end of the Wire as at 12 about an intermediate portion of the wire. The wire changes direction adjacent the coil 12 and extends diametrically of the loop 10, arched longitudinally, and is provided at its free end with a hook 13 adapted to detachably engage with the opposite side of the loop as clearly shown in full lines in Figure 35' This diametrically extending wire is designated by the reference numeral 14. One end of a second distending wire 15 is coiled about the loop 2 at 16, is passed diametrically of the loop, coiled intermediate its ends at 17 about the wire 14:, and coiled at its opposite end at 18 aroundrthe opposite side of the loop. This manner of making the frame divides the wire 14:, into two parts, one part 19 of which may be termed a tongue and the free end of which tongue carries the hook 13. In utilizing the modified form of frame, as shown in Figure 3, the hair may be divided into four strands and passed through the different sections of tie frame. or, if desired, the hook may be disengaged from the loop 2 to partake of the dotted line position, whereupon the hair may be threaded through the loop and divided on either side of the tongue 19 in a more expeditious and easy manner than it can be threaded in single strands through each section adjacent the tongue. However, in this as well as in the preferred form of the invention, the manner of employing the frame is optional with the hair dresser.

Both" forms of-the invention are simple in construction, may be economically manufactured and are efficient in use. They provide a convenient and ready device for fashionpsyches, swirls, or other conformations nor- 7 mally formed on the top or back of the head, and dips, puffs or other conformations which are usually formed on the sides of the head.

Having thus fully described the invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A combination hair form and tie embodying a base loop formed from wireand adapted to be seated on the head, and a plurality of distending wires arched longitudinally and extending diametrically of the base loop in angular relation to one another, said base loop being an open loop having one free end shaped into the form of a hook adapted to hook over one of the distending wires to maintain the base loop in normally closed condition, but which hook may be released to permit the loop to be opened so that it may be passed about a strand of hair.

A combination hair form and tie embodying a wire bent for a portion of its length to form an open loop the free end of which loop is provided with a hook, and the remainder of the wire being bent to extend transversely across the loop to the opposite side thereof and there permanently secured to the loop to constitute a distending eiement which is arched longitudinally, and second wire extending transversely of the loop, in angular relation to said distending element, and permanently secured at its opposite ends to the loop and intermediate its ends to said distending element.

A combination hair form and tie em bodying a wire bent to form a base loop and also an arched distending element extending transversely of the base loop one end of the wire being free from permanent attach ment to the remainder of the wire, except in so far as said end is integral with the wire, attaching means associated with said free end of the wire for detachably securing said free end to an intermediate portion of wire, and a second wire extending transversely of the loop in angular relation to the said dis tending element and permanently secured at its opposite ends to the loop and intermediate its ends to said distending element.

In testimony whereof, we have signed our names to this specification.
